It’s time to lace up your hiking boots and go on a trek with us as we spot all the changes that have been happening since our last visit! Let’s get moving!
Disney World has implemented lots of new precautions to keep guests and Cast Members safe now that the parks are reopening. One of the biggest changes has to do with physical distancing. All parties are asked to maintain six feet of space between themselves and other guests at all times.

If you’re a pin collector, you might think this new safety regulation would make pin trading a thing of the past at Disney World. But we’re here to tell ya — that’s not the case! In fact, we’ve seen pin trading happening at a few places INSIDE the theme parks recently between guests and Cast Members!
A lot has changed in Disney World this year — even pin trading!
Pin Traders
Pin trading is a pastime that many consider a staple of Disney fandom. Disney pins have been around for a while, but in 2000 pin trading started up officially in the Disney parks! To celebrate the 20th anniversary of pin trading, there was supposed to be a trading event this August 22nd and 23rd. Now, due to the global health crisis, the 2020 Pin Trading Event will be held online!
While we’ve been dining at places like Wine Bar George or popping over to the World of Disney for a shopping spree, we’re ready to keep adding to our Minnie ears collection!
